What type of identity provider is required for Tanium?

Tanium requires an identity provider that is compliant with Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML 2.0). This is because SAML 2.0 is widely used for single sign-on (SSO) and is designed to facilitate the exchange of authentication and authorization data between an identity provider and a service provider, such as Tanium. Utilizing SAML 2.0 allows Tanium to securely manage user identities and access, streamlining user authentication across various applications and enhancing security through well-established protocols.

The choice of SAML 2.0 aligns with the need for enterprise-level identity management, ensuring that organizations can effectively handle user access without compromising security or complicating user experience. This compliance facilitates integration with various security infrastructures that many organizations already have in place.
